Speaking of nerve,r chimed in another
club man, Il will tell you story of young
man, the son of one of our largest manufact-
urers, who displayed the greatest nerve Of
any man l ever heard of. He was an officer
in the navy, on one of the old hulks of our
boosted squadron, which had the honor to
escort Gen. Grant on some of his excursions
along the coast of China The aforesaid hulk
or vessel was of the coast of Japan, in that
most treacherous Of all seas, caught in ter
rifle gale. Everything was done to make her
weather the sea- but the violence of the
storm continued unabating, and it was found
that the boat would go to pieces. The officers
and seamen We're called on deck, and it was
the unanimous opinion that it was only a
question of time, and a mighty short one.
when she would succumb TO the elements
The small boats were all put in order, q stock
of provisions was placed in each, and the off,
GERS and crew were parceled off for the diff
ferent boats. Everything was ready to put
off at moments notice, and every one was
expecting a terrible struggle for life, if not
death by drowning.
1.-THE suspense was something impossible to
conceive unless one has had similar expert
ence. A man can look forward to being
hung or shot with comparative intrepidity,
but to face drowning is torture of the soul
most narrowing. This young man knew no
fear, never knew any, and probably never
will. He was born fearless and lie cannot
help it. While all the other officers and men
were on deck ready and waiting to jump in
their boats, he quietly remarked shat as
there seems to be nothing else to do, I'll 60
down and take nap" And he went down
to his cabin and went to sleep. Fortunately
the vessel rode out of the storm in few
hours and was safe. This young man Of
nerve was the hero of those terribly anxious
hours, and his brother officers delight to re-
peat how be said "as there seems nothing else
to do, I'll go down and take anap."-Chicago

Col. Pat DOMAIN, the western orator, who
SAYS he is going TO lie the priest TO unite the
north and south by means of marrying off
lot of pretty girls from Dixie to young men
in the north, has had many narrow escapes
He saved his life once by abstaining from
game OF poker and reading the Bible. A few
wears after the war he was n passenger on
big Mississippi steamboat bound to st. Louis
from New Orleans The colonel Yves asked
to take hand in a game of draw poker that
was going on in the forward part of the
cabin. 1t was Sunday morning, and a sud-
den impulse seized him u read something in
stead of playing poker He had notlnn TO
read until he thought a a little Bible that
pretty young girl cou- gave him iii lew
Orleans, extracting promise from him that
he would sooner ~ Ia; r. look between ifs
leaves
In order to KEEP the poker players and the
men who watched the game from laughing
at him if they saw him reading Bible, he
went to his stateroom, situated about the
middle of the cabin. He had been reading
from the Psalms of David about ten minutes
when terrific explosion took place, killing
outright all the poke players and the men in
the front part of the cabin. The colonel WIS
badly shaken up, but he managed TO save a
hands and capturing a small boat He took
to the water after pushing off the little boat
filled with women, and was picked up three
miles below, frozen nearly TO death-New

The case not only commanded attention In
America, but was cause celebre wherever
the English language was spoken. 1t was
bloody murder, with no palliating circum-
stance save that Dan Sickles defended his do
nestle honor under the Mosaic idea that the
adulterer could be killed if caught in the act
There was splendid array of counsel Car
lysle and Ould, the latter then district attor-
ney and afterwards prominent in the Con
federate war department, prosecuted Dan
Sickles The latter was defended by Edwin
NJ Stanton, the golden mouthed james L
Brady, of New York; John Graham, the
great criminal lawyer, yet alive; Magruder
and Charlton, of Virginia, and the brilliant
and gifted Gen. Thomas Meghan. Stanton's
speech acquitted the prisoner.
Stanton's idea was accepted by the defense,
the killing was admitted and the defense took
the ground that the provocation was suffi-
Gent to justify acquittal. The great war
secretary quoted from John Milton, who said
''Who knows not that chastity and probity
OF living cannot be established or continued
except it be first set up in private families
whence the whole breed of men come FORTH
and with wonderful eloquence, while the
jury gazed in wrapt attention at the stalwart
elOquence of the great orator, he continued:
s'The family is the cradle of sensibility
when the first lessons are taught Of that ten
derness and humanity which cement the vast
mass of mankind together, and were they ex-
tinguiShed the whole fabric of society would
lie dissolved "-Philadelph Times.

! met the wife of a western congressman in
the Corcoran gallery here the other day.
While she does not by any means represent a
type of Washington women, she yet combines
SO many traits that are found among them
that she is in certain sense representative
She seems TO be III a sort OF transition state in
every particular, not only as to mental char
acteristics, but even in her attire and man
her She had bonnet that reached the
furthest extreme of fashion, pair of thick
soIed and awkward boots that could only
have been made by back country cohbler,
and her attire was an indescrihably odd col
lection of various styles ana fashions I'm
mediately beneath the new fashioned bonnet
she had an old fashioned bang. Her eyes
were bright, her color perfect, and she talked
with an enjoyment of one under perpetual
spell Of excitement.
In summing up her attire I should place it
somewhat As follows: Shoes, keoknk; bon
net, Paris; cloth jacket, London; gown,
Washington; massive gold chain, Chicago;
parasol New York; girdle, Vienna; accent.
London, Iowa. Paris, Illinois, New York,
New England Germany, South Carolina and
Ireland That these warning elements will
SHORTLY involve dashing and representative
American is the result to be looked for -

Street Scenes as Viewed by Northern
Sightseer-CIimps of nm Intsrior

Street Scenes as Viewed by q Northern
sightseer-Glimpse of an Interior.
The singular dual life of the Crescent CITY
took vehement hold of the imagination of the
old clergyman. On one side of its great
artery, Canal street, is powerful American
city, firmly established, fully abreast of the
trade and industry of the time, and clutching
eagerly for its share of the commerce of the
world 1t is vitalized now with an energy
which, if not pure Yankee in character, is
very closely akin to it,
Here are miles of wharves heaped with
cotton and sugar; thoroughfares massively
built, through which the endless tides Of
human life ebb and fiow all day; magnificent
avenues stretching away out to the country,
lined with modern hotels, club houses and
huge dwellings, each fianked by one or two
picturesque towers, which, on inspection,
turn out to be only cisterns.
There is the necessary complement of black
shadow below these vivid high lights Pow
erty and vice live more out of doors in New
Orleans than in northern cities There they
are, barefaced, leering, always on the familiar
pave, to he seen and known of ali hen. Back
of all signs of wealth and gayety, too, is the
mud, material, clammy horror The water,
deadly enemy here, perpetualy fought and
forced back, rushes in, whenever a DAYS rain
gives 1t vantage, at every crevice, foods the
streets and clogs the drains 1t oozes out of
the GROUND wherever you step on it, drips
down the walls Of your drawing room, stains
your books a coffee color. clings to Won
chilly and damp, in your clothes and in your
bed, turns the air you breathe into cold
stream, and washes your dead out of their
graves.
So the old man and the girl, being about
the same age t"aS old as the Babes in the
Wood" quoth Mrs Ely, fell into the habit
OF strollins in the early morning or gathering
twilight through the network of oddly silent
streets, so narrow that the overhanging caves
nearly met over the cobblestOne payensnts
Steep roofs, scaled with earthen tiles and
green with moss, hooded dormer windows
peeping out of them like half shut eyes, rose
abruptly from the one stored houses. Here
and there a cobbler sat on his bench in the
street plying his awl and singing to himself,
or group of swartay, half naked boys knelt
on the banquette, fingiug their arms about
III gambling game for pennies, and shrek
ing in some wild dialect, half negro and half
French.
Their walks usually ended on the Boulevard
Esplenade Even that wide thoroughfare fell
into quiet in the afternoon as the long
shadows of the trees lay heavily across it,
Within the close walls they could catch a
glimpse of the courts about which the houses
are built, the glitter of fountains shaded hv
orange trees and broad leaved tropical plants
Sometimes jatousied window would be left
open, and they would catch the tinkle of a
guitar or the sound of q woman's voice sing
ing.-Rebecca Harding Davis i'll Harper
